Daft time yet?

ok season is over..

the lack of speed in the LB corp is blinding - SLB is my #1 area of concern.

DL needs something. the players they have should get the job done but they are not cutting it. Youth maybe the answer

Missing Lance Moore showed we have no back up slot WR.

The OL is not as great as the media says. Niners proved it. Bushrod, pro bowl or not belongs at RT.

Secondary can not catch a cold.

So time to start shopping.

Which way do we go?

No he doesn't! Strief is better. I said it before the game that Bushrod was going to get exposed. He's slow coming out of his stance & gets abused by good pass rushers. It was very obvious today. We need a legit LT. Bushrod got in the Pro Bowl only because of Drew Brees' play this year.

SLB - sounds like a broken record...

Speedy edge-rusher - I'm sounding like a broken record...

Losing Pierre tonight was the difference in losing Lance.

Secondary should not HAVE to make a catch. GW's defense should actually get sacks

he is no LT thats for sure. I have been saying that for years too.

Strief is getting long in the tooth.

I would not mind seeing the saints upgrading both.

Our need, for a long time, has been OLB. Martez Wilson played pretty well, and he may help. But, our lack of speed at that position has caused us to put Safeties in real bad positions to try and compensate. I really hope new blood and new coaches fix that in the off-season.

Martez and Casillas both are fast for the OLB spot, they just don't get enough playing time...

Casillas missed two seasons with injuries.

Wilson may be the future.

We still need a speedy, edge-rusher

Gonna be tough. Brees, Colston and Nicks are gonna eat up all the cap room.

We better hope Wilson, Jordan and Galette develop fast, reak fast.

BTW: Did Ellis even play?
